Positioning

Offering a range of options for and accurate and precise vehicle and ADAS platform positioning.

Test object positioning systems

Precision vehicle and platform GNSS inertial navigation positioning

Accurate positioning is crucial in vehicle testing to enable precise path following, coordination and synchronisation of test objects. Our driving robots and ADAS platforms are compatible with inertial navigation systems from OXTS, GeneSys and Racelogic.

We also offer the PinPoint range, made up of ultra-compact GNSS motion packs that ensures up to 1 cm position accuracy.

FAQs

What is vehicle positioning used for in automotive scenario testing?

Vehicle positioning systems provide accurate measurements of a test object’s position, movement and orientation. This data enables precise path following, synchronised multi-object testing and repeatable execution of ADAS, vehicle dynamics and validation test scenarios.

Why is accurate positioning important in vehicle testing?

Accurate positioning helps ensure tests can be repeated consistently and reliably. It enables engineers to compare results with confidence, coordinate multiple test objects and generate high-quality data for development and validation programmes.

Can AB Dynamics systems work with third-party positioning solutions?

Yes. AB Dynamics driving robots and ADAS platforms are compatible with a range of industry-leading inertial navigation systems, including solutions from OXTS, GeneSys and Racelogic, allowing customers to select the positioning technology that best suits their requirements.

What is the difference between PinPoint and PinPoint Plus?

PinPoint is a compact, versatile solution for a wide range of testing applications, while PinPoint Plus is designed for demanding test environments where highly accurate positioning measurements are required. Optional 16 g accelerometers make it suitable for durability and misuse testing applications.

Both products provide highly accurate vehicle positioning and motion measurement and integrate with the AB Dynamics track test ecosystem.

What applications can the PinPoint range support?

The PinPoint range can be used across a broad range of vehicle testing applications, including:

  • ADAS and autonomous vehicle development
  • NCAP testing
  • Vehicle dynamics testing
  • Durability testing
  • Misuse testing
  • Mileage accumulation testing
  • Validation and verification programmes
